LANSING, Mich. — If you didn't know that this year was an election year - than you may have been living under a rock.
There have been multiple Democratic Debates and already a couple of caucuses under our belt.
Primary Day in Michigan is right around the corner. March 10 is the day when you can vote for Republican and Democratic candidates for president.
